What is it that I have done?

I just felt the need to say that I feel violated; regardless of what sense of humour I appear to have, it's gone too far. I am sickened by some of the pm's to me. Yes, I'd very much like to meet up with some of the people on this board. No, I don't want to be sent messages that make me wonder what would happen if I did.

I feel pretty betrayed by the AE's that post threads purely to launch into me. I have no idea what your sick motivation is, but please feel happy that I am devastated, shaking and in floods of tears. I have no doubt that you are the same person.

Cal me immodest, I may spout my own fair amount of !!!!!!, but I know that I have genuinely helped people and that I always genuinely try. I have learned so much from people here too and now I'm actually being bullied and I'm not quite sure why.

I'm sure I read as being totally irrational but if you know my posts, then I'm sure you know they and I are not this incoherent usually. I feel like I need to leave the board, but why should I when I see people's stories unfold, gain enjoyment from the good, the informative, the clever and the funny people here?

What have I done? :( I'd very much like it to stop.
Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

    oh doozergirl - how awful - how cowardly that small-minded little plonkers dont even have the courage to say out loud, even behind their anonymous names, what it is they disagree with you on. i would put them on ignore so you dont get sent anymore. i would also copy it to the adjudicators and ask for their account to be closed.

    i would also name and shame them here and now and then see how many other people like myself, show how much this community respects your kindness and wisdom, your humour, your helpfulness and your humanity.

    ignore the little baggers -

    Doozergirl, don't you dare leave!! You are a wealth of knowledge on this board. I don't use this board so much now we have moved house and are settled but you were a great help when we were in the process.
    If someone is bullying you I hope you pass on the PM's to someone who can help. Don't let them force you away, if they have nothing better to do than PM you, you should feel pity for them.

    awwwww ... yes, I've suddenly noticed people picking on you deliberately and without cause :(

    Don't get down. You can't please all the people all the time. And online there will be times when there are waves of kn0bs! Just post your posts. Make your replies when you want and !!!!!! what others say...

    Rule 1: You can never win

    Remember that one.

    So don't even try to.

    Stick around, they'll move on. You're dead good!

    I'm so sorry this has happened to you Dooozergirl. I can honestly say that your posts have helped me more than you will ever know and I truely appreciate your input. Please don't let these t&^%$£ers bully you into leaving.
    I wish I knew what I could say to make you feel better.... the only thing I do know is that sometimes things get misconstrued and/or said in virtual reality that would never happen in a million years face to face. It is very easy for sad, weak and inadequate people to hide behind a 'virtual' personality. You are worth so much more than this.

    Stay strong and know that those of us who have bothered to read more than a handful of your posts do have more than an inkling of your expertise and where you are coming from.

    To the &*(^%&*s who are doing this... I do hope you are proud of yourselves for attacking someone in this cowardly way.... you must be real men!

    Doozer, don't let them get to you.

    Finger on the delete button and ignore the PMs.

    What on earth has happened? The time i have been on this site, you have always gave excellent advice to all, been kind, generous and stood your ground to the increasing mount of idiots who put you down. You are much stronger than this!
